Summary
An exploitable buffer overflow exists in the psnotifyd application of the Pharos PopUp printer client version 9.0.

This client is always listening, has root privileges, and requires no user interaction to exploit.
Exploit prediction
5.15% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 92% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
